Inseparable Desires

"Mom! Mom!" A small boy with silver hair and sapphire-blue eyes called out to his mother. His voice echoed in the cold, sterile room that almost resembled a laboratory. Bright lights gleamed off the metallic surfaces, casting long shadows over the strange equipment lined up around him.

"Yes, dear? What's wrong?" His mother—a woman with delicate features and a soft smile—approached him as he sat cross-legged on a patient's bed while clutching a thick medical book with his small hands.

"What's mating?" the boy asked, tilting his head innocently as he pointed to a word in the book, his eyes wide with curiosity.

His mother's smile tightened slightly, but she answered in a calm voice. "It's something an Alpha and Omega do to form a bond, where their bodies and souls become inseparable for life."

"For life…?" The boy frowned, his young mind processing the weight of the words. "Does that mean if one of them dies, the other dies too?"

His mother chuckled softly and shook her head. "No, sweetheart. What I meant is that the bond is so strong… So deep, that it can only be broken through death."

The boy stared down at the page, biting his lip as he mulled over the answer. "So… I have to find a strong Alpha who won't die easily to be my mate, right?"

"Exactly, my clever boy," the mother praised, stroking his silver hair affectionately. "You must find an Alpha who has strength, wealth, and power… The one who can protect you in every way."

The boy's innocent gaze sharpened slightly as a question formed in his mind. "How do I do that?"

His mother's smile darkened with a secret knowledge. "You must seduce that Alpha, Felix. Use your beauty, your lovely body, and your pheromones… Make them crave for you… Make them want you more than anything."

"If I do that, we can escape from here, right?" The boy's voice wavered with hope, and his bright eyes searched his mother's face for the truth.

"Yes…" she whispered, her hand tightening slightly on a syringe filled with a thick, clear liquid. "That's the only way you can live a life free of chains, pain, and fear." Her voice was almost a lullaby, though her gaze seemed haunted by distant thoughts. "Now… Close your eyes, Felix…"

***

Felix gasped as he opened his eyes, his chest rising and falling with labored breaths. The stark memory from his childhood collided with the present, the weight of the past pressing down on him. But then, he felt something warm—someone's warmth...

Sunghwa's lips were on his, moving with a deep passion that made the young man's pulse race, erasing the cold grip of his mother's voice from his mind.

I've already chosen this man as my Alpha, Felix thought to himself, his body responding to the heat of the moment. He's strong… wealthy… powerful… and we're drawn to each other like gravity. Isn't that what you wanted, Mom?

I have to make him mine and use him to help me get revenge on those evil people who destroyed our family…! A strong determination was raised within the Omega as he made that vow to himself.

But something deeper burned inside him—more than a plan, more than revenge. As Sunghwa's lips traveled to his neck, his scent—a mix of cedar and musk—filled Felix's senses, grounding him in the present.

He wasn't just seducing this man to survive. He wanted this… He wanted him.

"What are you thinking about?" Sunghwa murmured against his skin, the man's voice rough yet tender as his breath tickled Felix's ear. His large hand slid under the Omega's shirt, fingers tracing the curve of Felix's small waist.

Felix forced a smile, his heart pounding against his ribs. "Nothing…" he lied, his fingers brushing through Sunghwa's short black hair. The desire simmering between them was overwhelming, but so was the flood of emotions. "I can't back out now, can I?"

Sunghwa's golden eyes gleamed with a mischievous spark. "I warned you, but you insisted on being stubborn…"

The man sat up and then pulled off his shirt with a single swift motion, revealing his well-built, muscular chest, which glistened under the dim lights of the bedroom. His chiseled abs rippled as he moved, with tattoos crawling across his skin like hidden stories—covering the scars that were silent witnesses to the battles he had fought.

Felix's breath hitched, his sapphire eyes tracing every inch of Sunghwa's body as the Alpha's presence dominated the room. He felt small and vulnerable, and yet… he wanted to be close to him, as closer than ever.

"Do you want to touch it?" Sunghwa's voice was husky, thick with desire as he smirked, clearly enjoying the way Felix's gaze devoured him.

Felix swallowed hard and nodded, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out. His fingers brushed against the hard muscles of Sunghwa's body. The boy pressed his palm against Sunghwa's broad chest, feeling the steady and strong heartbeat of the Alpha. The man's skin was warm and smooth under his touch, but there was a raw power that lay beneath.

"Prove to me how much you want this body," Sunghwa whispered, his tone filled with a dangerous challenge.

Felix's pulse quickened as he leaned in, pressing his lips to the Alpha's neck. The taste of salt and sweat mingled on his tongue as he kissed his way down to Sunghwa's collarbone. His hand slid over the man's chest and squeezed, earning a deep, rumbling groan from Sunghwa.

"Haa… You're a quick learner," Sunghwa praised, his fingers threading through Felix's hair as the Omega's tongue traced the lines of his neck with breath warm against his skin.

Felix then moved lower. The young man's lips trailed down the Alpha's chest, lingering on the hardened nubs of his nipples, licking and sucking them one by one. Each flick of his tongue sent shivers down Sunghwa's spine, making the man's chest heaved with pleasure, his breath uneven.

"Yes… like that, Felix…" Sunghwa murmured, his voice thick with lust as he guided Felix lower.

But when Felix's lips brushed against the scar that lay beneath one of Sunghwa's tattoos, he paused. "Sunghwa… This is…?"

Sunghwa exhaled softly, his hand running down Felix's back. "I broke my ribs during a fight. Surgery saved me, but the scars stayed." His voice was quieter now, more reflective. "This tattoo covers it as a reminder… It reminds me that I survived… That I earned everything with my own blood, sweat, and tears."

Felix's chest tightened at those words, his lips trembling as he kissed the scar softly and tenderly. Sunghwa had fought his way through life, just like me… He's suffered just like I have… How could I have thought of using him? Especially after he helped me selflessly… A sudden question immediately filled the boy's mind.

"Sunghwa… I…" Felix choked on his words, tears welling up in his eyes and spilling over as he pressed his forehead to Sunghwa's chest. "I'm sorry…"

Seeing that, Sunghwa quickly comforted the Omega. "Hey, hey… Don't say sorry… It's not your fault."

Hearing that made Felix's chest tighten more. "No… You don't understand. I…" The boy paused, encouraging himself to tell the truth while sobbing. "I tried to use you… I wanted to seduce you to get revenge on the mafia who killed my parents… I'm so sorry…" His voice cracked with emotion, the weight of his confession was too heavy to hold inside.

Sunghwa's expression softened as he cupped Felix's tear-streaked face, brushing his thumb gently across the Omega's cheek. "Oh, Felix…" he whispered, his heart aching as he saw the guilt and pain in Felix's eyes. "Don't cry, Sunshine…"

"I… I'm sorry… Please forgive me…" Felix's voice was a broken plea as he clung to the Alpha, his body trembling in Sunghwa's strong embrace.

The man held him tighter, resting his chin on Felix's head as he stroked the boy's back soothingly. "Shhh… I understand how you feel." His voice was soft but firm, filled with a quiet strength. "You're not the only one who's wanted revenge. I've been there, too."

Felix lifted his head, blinking through his tears as he gazed up at Sunghwa. "You have…?"

Sunghwa nodded, his expression darkening briefly as memories of his past flickered in his mind. "I've lost people I loved, too… I know how much it hurts. But revenge won't bring them back, Felix."

Felix's heart ached at the truth in Sunghwa's words. "Yeah… I know…" he nodded slowly, feeling ashamed in himself.

"Hey, listen to me…" Sunghwa lifted Felix's chin gently. "I won't judge you for anything. And I won't blame you for your thoughts of wanting revenge, Felix..." The man looked at the boy affectionately as he asked, "I just need you to tell me… Did you want to sleep with me only because you wanted to use me for your revenge?"

Felix quickly shook his head. "N-No! Of course not!" He looked deeply into Sunghwa's eyes. "The main reason I want to be your mate… is because I'm attracted to you and feel like you're the one…" The Omega whispered, his voice shaking. "I want you, Sunghwa… I want you as my Alpha… because I trust you with my body and soul…"

Sunghwa's eyes softened as he leaned down and captured Felix's lips in a tender, lingering kiss, sealing the promise between them. "That's all I needed to hear," he murmured then pulled back to look into the young man's eyes. "Now, do you want to stop… or keep going?"

Felix didn't hesitate. With newfound determination, he sat up, pulling off his shirt and tossing it aside. The Omega's skin glowed under the dim lights, his lithe form trembling with anticipation as he moved closer to Sunghwa again and brushed his lips over the man's warm, scarred skin.

As the night stretched ahead of them, their emotions bared… Their desires intertwined—full of promise, full of heat, and full of the undeniable bond they were about to seal.
